Kingston News, March 27, 2018

Ontario’s police watchdog has clear Kingston Police of any wrongdoing in the death of a 52 year old man last April. The man was involved in a standoff with police after he confronted his ex-girlfriend in the University district and fired two rounds from a shotgun…narrowly missing the woman.

The Special Investigation Unit says it is clear the man took his own life without any intervention by the police following a lengthy standoff at a townhome on Compton Street.

OMB Hearing

It’s a clash between heritage and high rises in downtown Kingston.

The Ontario Municipal Board hearing on the Capital Condos project kicked off yesterday.

The lawyer for the Frontenac Heritage Foundation and three individuals says the project goes against the city’s official plan and will help destroy the heritage of the downtown.

The lawyer for the developer says it will help save the downtown core by bringing more residents to the area.

Assault – Charges

He’s only 13 and already full of rage and in big trouble with the law.

Kingston Police say the 13 year old assaulted three staff on Sunday at the group home where he is living and was belligerent with staff and police.

He’s been charged with three counts of assault and breach of probation after the violent outburst.

Bizarre Incident – Locked in Closet

A bizarre incident involving two people locked in a hotel closet in Kingston has resulted in the arrest of an 18 year old for car theft. Kingston Police were called to the hotel at 4:30 Saturday morning and found a man in the hall of the hotel and a man and woman inside a nearby hallway closet. They said they were hiding from the man after getting into a dispute. Police found a vehicle in the parking lot that had been stolen in Caledon. The 18 year old from Caledon has been charged with theft and possession of stolen property.

Hospitals – Funding

The University Hospitals Kingston Foundation is asking Belleville for about $595,000 over the next five years.

Belleville city council was presented with the request for just under $119,000 a year for the next five years. The council will decide on the donation during budget deliberations.

Marie-Josee Coyle has been living with kidney disease since 1993 and needs a kidney transplant. She hasn’t been able to find a match with family and friends and came up with the unique idea to advertise for a kidney donor.

The sign and a plea on Facebook have generated some calls but no donor has been found yet.
